bridges are the key elements in any road network system as they facilitate free and uninterrupted movement
of traffic. The main objective of this study is to compare the analytical results of horizontally curved box girder bridges
having different parameters. This paper comprises of analytical results of nine curved bridges having different
parameters in terms of span length and deviation angle. The results obtained are in terms of shear force, bending
moment and torsional moment. It is observed from the results that with increasing deviation angle there is an
appreciable increase in the value of torsional moment.
